Eco Gadgets

If you’re looking for something a little different as far as solar lights go you could pick up these Wild Grass Solar Garden Lights. You can jam the stakes into the ground and make it appear as if you have random tufts of grass glowing in the dark. If you have any extra gullible friends you could always convince them that the grass is a special variety that glows every single night.

When it comes to cutting back on the amount of energy you use, it’s a game of cutting small corners in every area. If you boil water for your tea, this Philips Kettle is yet another corner you can cut. It makes the art of boiling water a whole lot more precise and therefore cutting back on the amount of energy you use while boiling.

A lot of appliances currently created are a lot more mindful of their energy usage. However, for those of us using old appliances or ones from companies that just don’t care about that sort of thing, there is a bit of hope. The Energy Wizard is intended to make sure that your appliance doesn’t suck up quite so much energy as it normally would. Of course these Ecotek Energy Wizards are only going to help out those with a standard UK 3 pin plug socket.

The other day, I was watching the news about the oil spill in the Gulf, and I had heard that a pelican had been saved. Apparently, the Pelican went in the spill to catch a fish, but a team managed to clean him off.

My first reaction was: “Man, why did that pelican go into the oil-infested waters for that fish?” Yes, there are more fish in the sea, but then again, it isn’t the pelican’s fault that we polluted his normal fishing waters.

Hopefully, we will make certain that there will be less polluted waters, but right now, research is underway to steer fish away from those infected areas. Professor Maurizio Porfiri of the Polytechnic Institute of New York University is working on that robotic fish that could be able to lead a whole school of fish away from polluted, infected, or otherwise dangerous waters.

This isn’t the first of the water powered gadgets, but it is definitely an attractive new design. Plus besides looking good on your desk, it allows for you to live your life just a little more eco-friendly. You also won’t have to worry about constantly replacing batteries, instead you just refill a tiny capsule and you’re ready to go.

Alright so you’re all set with lighting to go all aroung your garden and show off your house, but you need a little something extra for your patio. This Tricod Orange Solar Bubble Light Pot would look great sitting out on your picnic tables. It has the same look as a terra cotta pot, but mixes in a little bit of a whisical look with the cute bubbles cut out of it.

When you’re out camping it just kills the mood entirely to refill your gadgets with new batteries. It’s way better if you can manage to go without changing batteries or plugging things in. This solar lantern will allow for you to keep your light source juiced and working all night long. Of course it looks like something you’d find at space camp instead of a camp in the middle of the woods, but at least you’ll be battery-free.

Alright, so it’s not a solar portable iPod speaker kit. Which means it might have slightly less appeal for the younger ones that are heavily attached to their MP3 player of choice. However, for those that just love to build and use what they’ve built on a regular basis this little kit would be fun. Plus this FM radio won’t require you to constantly replace batteries.
